Search results

The result screen is displayed after the search operation is complete.
This screen shows a list of short titles. By default the titles are sorted by
year of publication.
This collection of short titles is also called the
Shortlist. Each term in a title that corresponds with
your search term, is considered a hit.
You can use the shortlist to analyze
whether or not your search criterion was successful.
